Hi Bluesky! Meet my game (launch trailer version) 💜
#indiedev #gamedev

Thank you @gamesmarket.global @indieflock.bsky.social 🤩

Watching all those air crash investigation videos has paid off! I believe I have resolved the sequence of events that led to my wheatbag catching fire in the microwave, a circumstance that should normally be almost impossible and it actually does involve holes in cheese, Norwegian not Swiss though

lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider :

are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No.

*but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no.

*but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no.

maybe you're not being negative *enough*

5.3.2 was quite good and stable, but I can't speak to deeper dependency and changes that could be relevant to Yarn Spinner

crunch in games is reckless, it’s running a car without oil or care, watching sparks fly and smoke billow and going “that’s what maximum efficiency sounds like, when parts fail I’ll replace them knowing I squeezed 110% from them”

except the parts are people so the driver is evil as well as stupid

Wow! Impressive variety, Pate sounds better than the mildly explosive rubber-like cheese

How many menus do they have? The aussie ones have 4, C had the highly sought after fruit cups

Wooo!! 🎊🎊🎊

We won our very first award for Blueberry!!! 🏆

Absolutely stoked that the social impact of this heartfelt game is being recognized. Thank you so much to @unity.com 💜💜💜😭😭😭

So happy to see this amazing project being recognized! It’s been such an honor working on this with @gamesmellow.bsky.social 💜💜💜

I can bring you an authentic French pain au chocolat, but you'll have to wait till tomorrow... and maybe catch it as I throw it out the train window :P

I have serious talks with mine about her problems with the cheap rug and unhealthy fixation on the fan base

Being unknowingly mocked by a tax firm feels like a particularly mean attack by the universe

Disruptive Pattern Mobility

We are super happy to announce that we are working with @hiddentrap.com as a publisher for Blueberry! 💜🤩
Looking forward to a great partnership and making Blueberry the best possible version of itself.

Orbs? Orbits? Think I'll go back to orbs, maybe records, horizontal record tessellation game!

After two years of obsessing over every word and photograph, the first physical copies of “Women Changing Cities” landed on our doorstep today.

We couldn’t be prouder of these eleven stories of transformational leadership, and sincerely hope they find the global audience and attention they deserve.

omg happy hackers day

It makes a certain level of sense to measure the scale of game production in how long the developers scream

BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT! @mahliann.bsky.social, @marcuscarter.com, and myself have combined our collective brains and written a wide-reaching introduction to the complex and interdisciplinary field of Game Studies in this forthcoming book for Polity. www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?b...

Guess I'll have to continue my sabotage by being competent, effective, and not randomly hallucinating things at work

I can't really believe the amount of pain 4 missing characters is causing me today, and probably tomorrow, and the rest of the week

I've never had a hangover but, I didn't have any caffeine yesterday and now my brain is simultaneously resigning and protesting

I've never thought that about any of your compliments. I've always thought you come across very sincerely 💚
